Join Greg Burns for the incredible experience of a Sound Healing Bath!

“Sound
is the force of creation, the true whole. Music then, becomes the voice
of the great cosmic oneness and therefore the optimal way to reach this
final state of healing.”Hazrat Inayat Khan

Give yourself the opportunity for deep relaxation and deep states of meditation by coming to melt into a Sound Bath experience!

Greg
Burns of Metta Vibrations will be offering a Sound Bath experience using only the gong! This will be held Saturday evening after the Festival of Light, starting at 6:00pm.
After beginning with some gentle guided relaxation, Greg will use
therapy-grade symphonic gong, chimes and more to
create an atmosphere of harmonic vibration.

No experience is necessary
and participants
will simply be encouraged to lay down or sit and relax into the
experience of the sounds. Greg will fill the space with sound for about
an hour, before

Greg
Burns is a certified Sound Practitioner from Staunton VA. He uses
Tibetan Singing Bowls, Gong, and other tools to offer both individual
and group sound experiences for wellness and transformation. Greg
operates Metta Vibrations studio in downtown Staunton, and is also
percussionist for touring kirtan band Chakra Khan.
